According to CCTV Chinese International official WeChat account on October 28, the report quoted a diplomatic document and two people familiar with the matter as reporting that after a closed-door meeting in Brussels this month, U.S. officials have told NATO allies that the new B61-12 nuclear bomb will arrive in Europe for deployment in December this year. And according to the original plan, the deployment of this nuclear weapon in Europe should be in the spring of 2023.
In response to the news, U.S. Department of Defense spokesman Patrick Ryder declined to discuss the details of the U.S. nuclear arsenal in a response to the media, but said that "replacing the old version with the B61-12 is part of the long-term plan and modernization efforts of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, an action that has nothing to do with the current situation in Ukraine and does not accelerate progress." ”

The B61 nuclear bomb has been in service with the U.S. military for more than 60 years. The B61-12 is the latest model of the B61 nuclear bomb life extension program, which is equipped with a new precision guidance tail assembly and a new guidance system, with a circular probability error of no more than 30 meters. The bomb is designed to be carried by fighter jets and bombers from the United States and other NATO members.
According to CCTV news, Hans Christensen, director of the Nuclear Information Research Program of the Federation of American Scientists, believes that the United States has previously claimed that it will not use nuclear weapons to deal with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and it is puzzling to accelerate the deployment of new tactical nuclear weapons at this time. Experts fear that this could further exacerbate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Tom Collina, director of policy research at the Ploughshares Foundation of the Nuclear Disarmament Organization, warned that although the US move is more to provide support to European allies, it is likely to further escalate the situation and even cause unintended consequences.
